Glenda Morrison, a former Johnson County Sheriff's Deputy, was found guilty of perjury Friday.

Morrison, 44, was convicted of perjury after lying to Circuit Court Judge William Pearson during an October 2012 trial.

During the trial, Prosecuting Attorney David Gibbons learned Morrison made comments to jury members during the sentencing phase of Tommy Bowden's murder trial. Morrison served as a bailiff during Bowden's trial. Gibbons alerted Pearson, who questioned Morrison.

Morrison, under oath, denied the allegations.

Following her conviction Friday, Morrison was sentenced to probation for one year and was given a $5,000 fine.
